While 50 people died and another 53 were said to be injured following the massacre early Sunday morning, Trump prompted backlash when he allegedly made the incident about himself and his campaign.

Trump reacted to the news in the early morning, writing, "Really bad shooting in Orlando. Police investigating possible terrorism. Many people dead and wounded." He added in another tweet that the incident was "horrific."

But it was a tweet he sent a few hours later that really got people fuming.

“Appreciate the congrats for being right on radical Islamic terrorism,” he tweeted on Sunday afternoon. “I don't want congrats, I want toughness & vigilance. We must be smart!”

Appreciate the congrats for being right on radical Islamic terrorism, I don't want congrats, I want toughness & vigilance. We must be smart!

In a later statement the Associated Press reported Trump went on to suggest President Barack Obama should resign because he "refused to even say the words 'radical Islam.’” You can read his full statement on Facebook
